Volkanovski Suggests Retirement Fight with Gaethje

Alexander Volkanovski has put forward the idea of a retirement fight with lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, proposing that both fighters would retire after the match.

Volkanovski clarified that he is not pursuing Gaethje's title, despite his previous lightweight title bouts against Islam Makhachev. He emphasized that a champion-versus-champion fight would allow both fighters to vacate their titles, preventing any disruption in their respective divisions.

Volkanovski noted that he does not want to take opportunities away from deserving contenders in the lightweight division, highlighting that Gaethje seems uncertain about his future and is not interested in rematches.
